Hi, simple question here.

I want to insert my drawing that I have drawn in the model workspace
into a Layout. I have a border with drawing no., title and all
inserted as a block. How do I insert my model into the layout and have
it update automatically as I continue to revise my drawing in the model
tab?

Wow, that was simple!

Whenever I have to explain paper space and model space, I get a trash title
block plot and cut out the middle. I have two people hold it up for me, then
I stand right behind the drawing and say "Here I am at 1:1 scale [step back
a few feet] here I am at quarter scale [step back a few feet] here I am at
eighth scale..." Nothing like a good visual to get the point across.

I resisted my pedantic urges to lecture the OP about the virtues of learning
the names of things etc., etc., and tried a Longshot-ish one-liner : )

You ever notice how they had to put tabs on Paperspace to be able to sell
it? I get the feeling almost everyone is using "layouts" now, whereas you
used to get the blankest stares when you'd try to sell the merits of PSPACE
just a few years ago.....
